not furnish the cars, except the Northern

IRON AND LIMESTONE.

The visitors We're also greatly interested
in the valuable vein of ironstone which
lies underneath the coal vein. Below this
iron deposit is limestone, so that in the
Sand Coulee fields all the elements for the
production of iron on an economical basis
are at hand. The combination Of coal.
iron and limestone is as remarkable as
that in the southern atatess where like
materials exist in proximity to each other
resulting in the great prosperity of such
favored places as Birmingham, Ala
On the way Mr.. Gibson showed the
visitors the fine Iedges Of building stone
which abound in the Sand Coulee district,
yielding material of great beauty and du-
rabiIity. Mention was also made of the
lime kilns in the neighborhood which are
in operation.

MINERAL TREASURES.

Sand Coulee also yields in abundance
coal which is adapted for the production
of steam. This makes clear, white ash
and does not clinker. There is no sui
phur in it to fern cakes with other sub
stances on the bars. It produces large
volume of heat at moderate cost. and is
thus we'll calculated to provide the faeto-
ries that will spring up here and elsewhere
in Montana with cheap fuel, which will
enable them to compete successfully with
like establishments in the eastern and
western states.

COAL FIELDS VISITED.
Col. Broadwater and Friends exam
inc the Great Natural Stores
of Fuel at Sand Coulee.

/ Yesterday was spent agreeably and
profitably by our guests. In the morning
| most of them proceeded in three carriages
| to Sand Goulee, to examine the extensive
coal fields in that district. The party in
elnded Col Broadwater, Messrs. Paris
| Gibson, Toole, Bratnober, Vaughn, Fan
ming, Napier, Gen Green and Major
Roman
The visitors examined carefully the tun-
| nels which have been constructed to mine
| the Sand Coulee coal. As they proceeded
along those subterranean ehambek;, they
observed with admiration the immense
masses of coal in layers of from six to
fifteen feet thick. In some places there
We're layers six to seven feet thick OF
clear coal without any intervening earth
The works as yet are on a moderate
scale. There are no vast caverns or al
most interminable tunnels, such as are
common in Pennsy lvania, but enough
progress has been made to supply
the Great Falls market and to demonstrate
the existence of what seems an ineyhaus-
tib1e supply of good coal in locality
which can be reached by railroad in about
fifteen minutes from Great Falls.
The coal and the coal deposits
We're examined closely by Mr.. Bratnober,
Mr.. Tanning and others who visited the
fields for the first time. The mines were
found to yield coking, household, black
smith and steam coal.
The coking coal serves for the manu-
facture of coke, which is Of such absolute
Importance in all smelling operations
which require fuel that is entirely free
from sulphur and other impurities. In
Montana there will be larg3 consumption
for this coke, which will be produced
cheaply and in accordance with the most
approved methods.
The house coal is we'll known in this
city and locality, where it is now in steady |
demand, and serves for cooking purposes
as we'll as for general use. 1t makes a |
very good fire. 1t is not stony nor sul-
phurous and readily flares up. When |
picked, like Pennsylvania coal, it will be |
without single drawback for household |
use.
The blacksmith coal which Sand Coulee |
produces is clean and bright and free
from sulphur.
The party profted greatly by the guild
ance of Mr.. Napier, whose long experience
in coal mining and knowledge of the dis |
tsict enabled him to point out clearly the I
technical as well as the general points of |
interest.

OLD TOWN ON FIRE.
Five Houses Destroyed by the COnflagra-
 tiOn.

On Wednesday morning about II o'clock the people of Flagstaff were startled by the blowing ot the mill whistle which at that time meant an alarm of some kind. Smoke was soon seen to be issuing from the Old Town and in a few minutes the flames burst out making lively blaze. A large number of people from Flagstaff and from Mill Town were soon on the spot, but all that could be done was to save as much of the contents of the houses as possible and prevent the flames from spreading beyond the five houses adjoining each other, any at tempt to save them being useless. There was strong wind blowing from the southwest which encouraged the conhagration and very soon reduced the buildings to charred lumber. A number oi hands from the mill who were the first on the ground went to work with will and no doubt saved the whole of the buildings belonging to I. H. Rumsey. The barn was al- ready on fire, but by tearing DOT tron of it away the property was sav- ed.
 The houses destroyed were an ice house belonging to the estate of J. N. Berry, dwelling house, the property of l. H. Prime, occupied by Mexi- cen family, a small house belonging to Frank M. Beal, MT. McLaughlig' s residence and an unoccupied house belonging to G. A. Woods. All of the property was old and not of any great value.
 The fire is supposed to have been caused by sparks from passing rail road engine, The A. X P. line runs close to the buildings and at this point has a steep grade. A heavy laden freight train passed short time be. fore the fire and 1t was noticed that the smokestack threw out large Quan- tity of sparks and cinders. Ina yard immediately above where the fire originated some straw had been dis covered on fire by the owner a short time previouslyand exhnguished. Il the property Is rebuilt the owners wIl act wisely in getting farther away iron such a danger

THE death of Capt. B. B. Bullwin- kle has caused loss which will be indirectly felt throughout this district. He was very energetic business man who threw lis whole heart into his calling and was as untiring Tn his ef. forts to promote the general interests of range cattle men as he was in con ducting the affairs of the company he represented. His faults were Tn his manner not in his intentions. His former calling encouraged an author atative manner which sometimes clashed with western ideas. But his many kindly deeds, his honest love of right and fair play, and his always ready desire to lend helping hand wherever it was needed will be remembered pleasantly long after hls little faults have been forgotten.

THERE IS considerable, discussion going on about the origin of the word "boom," and a new dictionary just published credits the authorship of it to the Indianapolis Journal, quoting from that paper in April I879. This honor the Journal honestly disclaims, saying that at that time the word was in frequent newspaper use. The word "boom" originated in the columns of the Globe Democrat on July a8th, I87S in an editorial written by ]. B. McUullagh advocating the nomina- ton of General Grant for a third term. It rapidly became a popular expression and to MT. McCullagh be. longs the credit of having coined the word which has since become incor

THERE are no descriptions of un- truths more likely to be harmful than those embodied in proverbs. It gives to lies concise shape which makes them fall glibly from the tongue, un- til they circulate as current truth. The saying that has grown common of late among the advocates of labor interests, "the rich grow richer and the poor grow poorer, is an exam pie of the manner in which a false statement of fact may be so cleverly embodied in neatly constructed sen- tence that it will be accepted as truth by ninety-nine out of hundred peo- pie. It is true that the rich grow richer if they make safe investments and don't spend all of their incomes.
 But it is not true that the poors grow poorer. The more the rich expend the more finds its way into the pock- cts of the poorer classes. There never was time in the history ot this coun- try when labor was so we'll paid as it is now, or when the working man had as much opportunity for enjoying the luxuries of life. It is only the absolute and incorporate of the poorer classes that need grow poorer.
